            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>We are happy to announce that Dew's public Alpha will begin on Monday, 19th January.</strong> </p><p>Before making the app publicly available to everyone and launching our token, we would love to invite interested people into an alpha test.</p><p>We've been building Dew for about 6 months now and reached a point where we need helping hands to test and use the app - that's where you all come into play! <span data-name="grinning_face_with_big_eyes" class="emoji" data-type="emoji">😃</span></p><p>We’re writing this to explain how Alpha works, what we expect from participants, and what is in it for you as tester.</p><h2 id="h-what-alpha-testing-is-and-isnt" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">What Alpha Testing is (and isn’t)</h2><p>The Dew app itself is usable; you can create LP and Yield positions, modify them, claim fees, and close them.</p><p>You can do so by using any-token on the same chain as the target position (cross-chain position opening will come in the future, already on the roadmap!).</p><p>The analytics for your LP and Yield positions is already implemented and works, but there might be some minor issues, so if you see inconsistencies in the analytics, please report them!</p><p>We can only do so much testing ourselves, and especially when it comes to UI and UX we want to hear from YOU, the users. After all we are building this app not just for us <span data-name="grinning_face_with_closed_eyes" class="emoji" data-type="emoji">😄</span></p><p>During the alpha, you should:</p><ul><li><p>Use Dew with real funds</p></li><li><p>Put real volume through the app</p></li><li><p>Explore features, strategies, and flows</p></li><li><p>Surface bugs, inconsistencies, and UX issues</p></li><li><p>Help us understand what holds up and what doesn’t</p></li></ul><p>However, that being said, the Alpha is not:</p><ul><li><p>A guaranteed reward program</p></li><li><p>An experiment in growth hacking</p></li><li><p>A system optimized for farming</p></li></ul><p>Our Alpha is part of the product-building process, and we want to reward actual early users that test and use the app.</p><p>Note: During Alpha, only the 'Advanced' mode is available. That includes analytics, pro features, and DeFi-native jargon. The simplified 'Core' mode is coming in Q2 2026.</p><p>We aim to have the alpha go for two weeks, we might adjust this if needed.</p><p><strong>Start Date:</strong> Monday, 19th January 2026</p><p><strong>End Date:</strong> Monday, 2nd February 2026</p><h2 id="h-the-alpha-allocation" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">The Alpha Allocation</h2><p>We’ve reserved some of the total Dew token supply specifically for Alpha testers. This allocation is fixed. It will not increase, and it will not be reused for later phases.</p><p>Besides that, eligible testers for the allocation are also guaranteed a whitelist spot for the pre-sale, which enables you to buy tokens at a discount, before the public sale of $DEW.</p><p>Our goal is to both reward users as well as to incentivize actual testing and using of the app.</p><p>In order to be eligible for any token rewards, you have to:</p><ul><li><p>deposit at least $25 into your smart wallet</p></li><li><p>do at least a volume of $100 throughout the testing phase</p></li><li><p>provide feedback/report bugs via the in-app submission form</p></li></ul><p>If these minimums are not met, the participant is not eligible for the Alpha allocation.</p><p>Note: If you deposit more into your wallet and do more volume, the allocated reward will be bigger. Actual allocations are determined after Alpha concludes, we will review how you used the product and contributed during the phase.</p><p>We want to note as well that it's not just deposit and volume that counts, though. If you provide good feedback and/or report bugs that we fix, that is worth a lot too!</p><p>We intentionally do not publish a mechanical formula. Systems that are easy to optimize are easy to game.</p><p>Using Dew with meaningful size helps us test things that simply don’t show up at small scale: execution paths, UX under load etc.</p><h2 id="h-what-good-contribution-looks-like" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">What “Good Contribution” Looks Like</h2><p>Rather than a checklist, it helps to think in terms of contribution archetypes:</p><p>Capital Stress Testers Users who operate Dew with meaningful size and volume, helping us understand real execution behavior.</p><p>Edge-Case Explorers Users who intentionally test unusual flows, strategies, and combinations to see what breaks.</p><p>Product Improvers Users who provide clear, thoughtful feedback on UX, assumptions, and usability.</p><p>Critical Finders Users who surface issues that materially affect safety, correctness, or user protection.</p><p>No single archetype dominates by default. Different forms of contribution matter in different ways.</p><h2 id="h-how-to-submit-feedback" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">How to Submit Feedback</h2><p>Feedback is one of the most valuable parts of Alpha.</p><p>Inside the app, you’ll find a bug icon that opens a short feedback form. This allows you to submit bug reports, UX notes, or general observations directly while using Dew.</p><p>We actively monitor all Alpha feedback. Clear descriptions, reproduction steps, screenshots, videos and context help us address bugs faster.</p><p>If something feels off, confusing, or broken, please let us know!</p><p>Alpha is designed for users who are comfortable operating in that environment and who understand that early-stage testing comes with uncertainty.</p><p>Last but not least, Dew is built on established protocols like Uniswap and Aave, but this is still an alpha. Bugs happen, and risk is inherent. Please only participate with funds you're comfortable putting at risk.</p><div data-type="youtube" videoid="P07tyDkHdn8">

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Through the years, we've come across many issues that make managing LP and Yield positions across chains and protocols unnecessarily difficult.</p><p>Both are amazing concepts and there are great products that are not seeing as much usage by non-experts as they should. Especially in terms of LP, many crypto users refrain from using LP positions to earn and grow their wealth due to the complexity and steep learning curve.</p><h3 id="h-what-kept-biting-us-and-everyone-we-helped" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">What kept biting us (and everyone we helped)</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Fragmented UX: </strong>Managing positions across Uniswap on Base, Unichain and Arbitrum, Aave on Base and Optimism meant juggling multiple wallets, gas, and interfaces. Without a smart account, even simple rebalancing becomes a 20-click ordeal.</p></li><li><p><strong>Weak analytics</strong>: Want to know your total fees earned this month? Good luck. You'd need to manually track each position across every protocol and chain, export CSV files, and build your own spreadsheet. There's no unified view.</p></li><li><p><strong>Clumsy deposits</strong>: Wanting to LP with the asset you actually hold (any token/single-asset) is rarely smooth if at all available.</p></li><li><p><strong>Project LP Management</strong>: When we helped projects manage their protocol-owned liquidity, we hit a wall. Team members often lacked the time and knowledge to navigate concentrated liquidity math, slippage settings, and gas optimization across chains. The learning curve was real.</p></li></ul><p>We started fixing these pain points by building small internal tools—a position tracker here, a fee calculator there. But then we stopped and asked:</p><p><strong>"Wait, if <em>we're</em> struggling with this, how hard must it be for everyone else?"</strong></p><p>That's when we decided to build Dew.</p><p>Dew is our answer: <strong>one interface for discovery → deposit → manage → analyze.</strong></p><p>Dew, first and foremost, is a platform that unifies opportunity discovery and LP/Yield position management. Liquidity being fragmented is often talked about, but what isn't often talked about is fragmentation of products. Instead of building a new onchain/DeFi platform ourselves, we want to make use of the battle-tested and well established products out there. Dew is being built on the shoulders of giants, so to say.</p><p>But that's not where we are stopping.</p><h3 id="h-built-with-expandability-in-mind" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Built with expandability in mind</h3><p>Since day 1 of starting work on the MVP, we have built Dew in a way that allows us to more easily integrate more chains and protocols in the future. That means we will be able to relatively quickly add new requested chains and protocols.</p><h3 id="h-one-app-all-opportunities" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">One App, All Opportunities</h3><p>Finding good LP and yield opportunities shouldn't mean scouting seven different UIs with wildly different quality levels.</p><p>In Dew, we surface top yield markets and LP pools across protocols and chains, allowing you to discover and open positions without leaving the app.</p><p>Of course that's only half the story. The other half is analytics like filtering positions by chain/protocol, track total earnings, and more.</p><p>But before we dive deeper, let's address <strong>trust and security.</strong></p><p>Dew is being built on the shoulders of giants. We utilize protocols like Uniswap and Aave, instead of building our own. You won't have to trust a new set of smart contracts with Dew, we are using battle-tested and reliable tech and strongly believe that <strong>not your keys, not your funds</strong>.</p><p>Dew is:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Non-custodial by design</strong>: we use Alchemy's Smart Wallets, will never have access to your funds and you will always be able to export the private key/seed phrase</p></li><li><p><strong>Transparent</strong>: by showing you exactly how much fees you have to pay and what is happening when you do a transaction</p></li><li><p><strong>Curated</strong>: we'll show opportunities from battle-tested protocols like Uniswap, Aave and similar giants. You won't find freshly-deployed yield farms or anon 10,000% APY traps on here. We will of course listen to our community and add pools/protocols/chains that are in high demand.</p></li><li><p><strong>Opinionated</strong>: we're building on the shoulders of giants, not gambling on every new launch. If you want to ape into a sketchy vault, you can do that elsewhere.</p></li></ul><p>Now let's check out what makes Dew different.</p><h3 id="h-an-internet-connection-and-a-device-is-all-you-need" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">An internet connection and a device is all you need</h3><p>We really think that <em>a lot</em> more people would like to earn through LP and Yield, but it's just too complex, with a steep learning curve.</p><p>That's why Dew will feature two modes:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Expert</strong></p><p>The mode with full data, no hand-holding. All the charts, metrics and control that power users expect, with a lot more to come post-MVP!</p></li><li><p><strong>Core</strong></p><p>In this mode, we will abstract away most complexity and information. Think of your modern neobanking app - simple and easy to use. A couple of clicks and you're earning.</p><p>The vision for the flow goes something like this:</p><p>→ Log in (Email/Passkey/Socials)<br>→ Browse opportunities (e.g. Aave USDC market, Uniswap ETH/USDC pool)<br>→ Pick an input mode and strategy<br>→ Enter amount → pay with card or top up wallet<br>→ Dew handles the rest in the background</p></li></ol><p>Of course users can always top up their wallet, withdraw, swap tokens, etc.</p><p>Further, Dew actually has three modes for LP position creation:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Dual-token</strong></p><p>The standard mode, you supply both tokens into the pool</p></li><li><p>Any-token and Single-asset</p><p>You can simply select a token of your choice, e.g. "USDC" as your deposit token, then select a pool you want to open your position in, and Dew will handle the rest, from swapping into the correct amounts to opening the position.</p><p>Let's look at an example. Say you hold wBTC on Arbitrum but want to provide LP into ETH/USDC (v3 on Uniswap). You would select 'Any-Token' → wBTC, pick Balanced, enter amount. Dew handles the optimal split/swaps, fee preview, and mints the LP</p><p>Want to deposit on Unichain into v4 cbBTC/ETH using USDC? Sure, go ahead.</p></li></ol><div data-type="youtube" videoid="cO8dJ8Hk4FQ">
      <div class="youtube-player" data-id="cO8dJ8Hk4FQ" style="background-image: url('https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cO8dJ8Hk4FQ/hqdefault.jpg'); background-size: cover; background-position: center">

          <img src="https://paragraph.com/editor/youtube/play.png" class="play">
        </a>
      </div></div><p>At launch, Dew offers three pre-set strategies plus custom ranges:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Passive (Full Range)</strong>: Maximize uptime; lowest maintenance; highest IL cushioning. Set-and-forget LP.</p></li><li><p><strong>Balanced</strong>: Centered around current price with a moderate band sized to recent volatility. Balances fee capture and IL. Good default for most majors.</p></li><li><p><strong>Growth</strong>: Tighter band around current price to amplify fee APR. Expect more frequent re-ranges and higher IL risk.</p></li><li><p><strong>Custom</strong>: Set your own tick bounds.</p></li></ul><p>You can switch presets or adjust to custom anytime. Available in both Expert and Core modes.</p><h3 id="h-learn-as-you-earn" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Learn As You Earn</h3><p>Our roots are in blockchain education. For years, we've created materials to help people understand blockchain tech, crypto, LP mechanisms and more.</p><p>In Dew's roadmap, we're embedding education directly into the app:</p><ul><li><p>Contextual tooltips: Hover over "Impermanent Loss" and get a 2-sentence explanation + a link to dive in deeper</p></li><li><p>Strategy guides: Each pre-defined strategy (Passive, Balanced, Growth) will have a short explainer on when to use it and what to expect</p></li><li><p>Learning hub: A library of articles and eventually videos, ranging from "What is an LP position?" to "Advanced range optimization strategies".</p></li></ul><p>We don't want people just to use Dew, we really want them to understand. Empowering people to take their financials in their own hands comes with responsibility for us, too. This way, our users can make informed decisions and grow their wealth confidently.</p><h3 id="h-ethereum-and-user-alignment" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Ethereum and User Alignment</h3><p>There has been a lot of talk about Ethereum alignment. We love Ethereum and want to give back. That's why we will commit to:</p><ul><li><p>Pledging 1% of Dew tokens to Protocol Guild <em>or</em> streaming some percentage of Dew's revenue to them</p></li></ul><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.protocolguild.org/"><em>Protocol Guild</em></a><em> is the leading independent funding organization for Ethereum core developers.</em></p><ul><li><p>Using some of Dew's revenue to buy and hold ETH (the amount is TBD, please see <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.dewapp.io/philosophy">this page</a> for updated info, which still may change in the future)</p></li></ul><p>But that's not all, we too want to give the best to our users. There will be revenue sharing (in ETH) and fee rebates for token holders, the ability to suggest new tokens, protocols and chains to integrate and to learn more about LP and Yield.</p><p>There will be NO venture capital firms in the Dew token sale, unless they buy tokens from Juicebox like anyone else. No private pre-sale or any of that bullshit. We ride with our community, or not at all.</p><h3 id="h-raising-what-we-need-not-what-we-can" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Raising What We Need, Not What We Can</h3><p>Our goal is to raise $500,000. That's enough to keep building for the next 12-18 months and bring on some helping hands to accelerate development.</p><p>You may wonder why we want to keep it so lean.</p><p>It's because Dew will generate revenue from day 1 of the public MVP launch:</p><ul><li><p>0% fee on position creation</p></li><li><p>0.2% fee on swaps coming from the usage of the Any-token/Single-Asset mode</p></li><li><p>10% fee on claims</p></li><li><p>1% fee on closing positions</p></li></ul><p>For Aave (and later other protocols like it), it is:</p><ul><li><p>0% fee on position creation</p></li><li><p>0.2% fee on swaps coming from the usage of the Any-token/Single-asset mode (most likely will be added post-MVP for Aave)</p></li><li><p>10% fee on claims</p></li><li><p>1% fee on closing positions</p></li></ul><p>The goal for us with Dew is to become revenue sustainable as quickly as possible. We're not interested in raising millions just because we can. If we need more, we'll revisit the option of raising again, but we would rather prove that our model can work and let the product earn its keep.</p><p>Revenue is split:</p><ul><li><p>50% team operations</p></li><li><p>35% token holder revenue share</p></li><li><p>15% ETH treasury</p></li></ul><h3 id="h-the-bull-case" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">The Bull Case</h3><p>Most crypto products need mass adoption to succeed. Dew <em>drives</em> mass adoption.</p><p>Think about it: a neobank-style UX doesn't just appeal to crypto-natives, it appeals to anyone tired of earning 2% in their savings account.</p><p>Users start in Core mode (simple), graduate to Expert mode (powerful), and realize they don't need to leave. We're not recycling DeFi users, we're creating them by offering a product so simple that it brings people onchain rather than just shuffling the same DeFi userbase around.</p><p>And we're already thinking much bigger, from debit card integrations that allow you to spend money without having to manually close positions, so your money is ALWAYS earning, to more UI/UX and/or integrations that makes it not just feel like a bank account, but become one.</p><p>Our tokenomics aren't built on hopes and prayers, we win when our users win.</p><h3 id="h-a-note-on-risk" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">A Note on Risk</h3><p>Dew is curated and opinionated, but risks remain: impermanent loss, smart contract vulnerabilities, market volatility. We make access easier, but we don't eliminate risk.</p><p>Start small and don't invest more than you can afford to lose.</p><h3 id="h-take-a-seat-and-join-the-ride" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Take a seat and join the ride</h3><p>Curious? Come say hi:</p><ul><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://discord.gg/4tS4CnqV6w">Discord</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://t.me/DewOnEth">Telegram</a></p></li></ul><p>Join our waitlist for early MVP access at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://dewapp.io">dewapp.io</a></p>]]></content:encoded>
